Indigo AV Mixera complete aV center

The Thomson Grass Valley™ Indigo™ AV Mixer is a new class of high-quality, multi-format audio/video mixer. Combining features normally found in video production switchers, AV presentation mixers, and audio mixers, it is a powerful, cost-effective, and easy-to-operate platform for live-presentation environments.

All-In-One AV Mixer

The Indigo audio/video mixer offers a complete feature set for controlling multiple analog or digital video and audio sources. With a high-resolution card installed, the mixer can simultaneously process multiple sources: 12 standard-definition (SD) sources, one scaled from SD to high definition (HD), and two selected from HD video or computer inputs. It also upconverts to HD and downconverts to SD—and even simulcasts live SD and HD output.

The Indigo audio/video mixer also manages the mixing and timing of audio sources, ranging from unbalanced analog to AES/EBU signals. And it seamlessly

combines live, high-resolution computer-based media, and presentation content with real-time video and audio materials.

Fits Any Skill Level

The Indigo audio/video mixer is simple enough for anyone to use. While providing full production-mixer capabilities, its menu-driven, touch-screen interface can access powerful presets to get a new operator up and running in minutes. Operators can also customize these presets and save them for recall.

Video Processing & Effects

The Indigo audio/video mixer features numerous 2D and 3D transition effects that you can modify and save, along with all other layout data, into its E-MEM preset storage banks. The Indigo audio/video mixer features more than 100 2D and 3D modifiable transition effects. It also supports two HD and two SD luminance, chroma, or pattern keys. Combining these features with the basic timeline sequencing in the mixer’s E-MEM preset storage banks provides a limitless array of custom effects.

Advanced Audio Mixing

Supporting eight stereo audio input channels from a selection of digital and balanced or unbalanced analog sources, each Indigo audio channel has a four-band parametric equalizer and may be controlled by a motor-driven fader. The mixer also provides phantom power for up to four microphones. And it can operate in audio-follow-video mode, automatically fading audio up or down when its associated video source is taken to program.

The mixer also features delay tracking that delays audio automatically to coincide with any delay of video through the switcher, as well as a user-defined output delay. These features ensure lip synchronization in live productions.

High In Value, Affordability

The Indigo audio/video mixer offers a number of economic benefits. Its competitive price, expansive functionality, and feature set ensure that you will no longer require separate—and often more expensive—production switchers and audio panels to get the job done.

Coupled with the platform’s ease-of-use features, this high-function design minimizes the number of operators necessary to deliver powerful, highly professional presentations for corporate, educational, concert, sporting, convention center, house of worship, and other production events.

Joystick Control

Joystick allows easy size and position control for keys and picture-in-picture function.

Large Menu Display

Touchscreen menu system provides easy and instant access to all settings.

Broadcast-Style Layout

Mix/effect buttons and layout provide broadcast-style operation and performance.

Audio Faders

Audio faders support user control or automatic audio-follow-video applications.

Lever-Arm Transition Control

Lever arm provides user-controlled transitions.

INDIGO

Indigo AV Mixer in a Live Events WorkflowAutomated Playback, Device Control

The Indigo audio/video mixer’s integration of machine control automates functions through memory presets that have traditionally required a dedicated operator. You can control external devices via RS-422 or Ethernet connections using GPI, BVW, or AMP protocols.

Particularly powerful is the Indigo audio/video mixer’s ability to control our Turbo iDDR. Menus on the mixer’s touch screen emulate those featured within the iDDR’s control panel to streamline setup, recording, clip management, and playback directly from the iDDR.

Indigo also has the capability to control an upstream Acappella HD-SDI router. By mapping the router sources to the Indigo M/E buttons, up to eight HD-SDI sources can be preselected from the Indigo control panel for cutting, mixing, or use in keys.
